US (WI): Farmers credit weather for banner blueberry crop
Farmers say the excellent crop is all thanks to the weather. "Everything kind of ripened all at the same time. We have a horrendous amount of blueberries right now," said Skippy. Last year farmers had to battle a drought.
"This year is much better than last year. Last year, it was horrible, we had the late frost last Spring which basically took out about 80 percent of our crop," said Skippy. Owners at Chet's Blueberries say this year's crop could be the biggest berries they've seen yet.
"The berries are bigger than I figured. They're humongous," said Skippy. He says people have been coming in for weeks, to pick some of those berries. "We can have 40-50 cars in the parking lot first thing in the morning, and then it will start to dwindle down as the day goes on," said Skippy.
